@Iggy: Max Payne doesn't look bad at all!

Okay, but check out the beginning of the trailer: Do you see The Test video?

Wanted

Was great for 3/4 of the movie!

But the ending could of been way better.

Brad Pitt is so fucking lucky!

@Pooter

I think my main problem with the film was the chracters were just so unbeliveable their reactions to situations were so exaggerated and improbable - take the black guy for example he refuses to believe that there is a monster outside in the mist despite 4 people telling him they have proof of it's existence and he just witnessed for himself a guy run into supermarket covered in blood and then heared the screams of people who tried to escape. Then there is the fast transformation of the majority of the survivors to fearful religous believers in the space of something like 2 days.

I can see the black guy's reaction as being fairly unbelievable, actually. I had a bit of a problem with that character, but I don't know that the reactions from everyone else were unbelievable. Presuming it was actually real, these people were reacting to a number of things, namely lots of people dying, not knowing whether they were going to die, and some unexplainable events taking place. People will look to some really weird shit when faced with survival.

^It's cos he's black isn't it? :P

I think it's pretty hard to predict how people react in a situation like that because nobody has ever experienced that kind of thing (at least I hope not). I can't stand the lead Thomas Jane, after seeing him in The Punisher I now hate him. Big blond faggot!

I just watched the classic Spartacus on DVD by Mr. Kubric. Great film.

:o OH SHIT!

Good find Iguana! Trailer looks good, only wish Stan Winston could see this!. . . R.I.P.

Someone told me their gonna show this trailer on 'TDK', but I never saw it until now!But Christian Bale, he's one of those actors who can do almost any kind of film. Just look at the diverse roles he's been in: Empire of the Sun,American Psycho(great flick),Equilibrium,Harsh Times,3:10 to Yuma,Rescue Dawn.

All IMAX 'TDK' shows are sold out for a while! Damn, have to see it on the regular screen.

I saw the Mist, wrote a brief review on page 7 of this thread. It wasn't a terrible film, it was actually quite entertaining and the pace was pretty good. Pooter's right in that it did portray of what happens in the face of adverisity when the survival instincts set in. As for the religious wingnut in the film, I found her role and the role of her newly born again followers an interesting perspective of what happens when people take the book of revelations word for word.

The ending was totally unexpected for a Hollywood film.

Overall, I wasn't all too enthralled with The Mist. What bothered me most (and I mentioned this on page 7) was the ridiculously gratuitous use of a very beautiful Dead Can Dance song. It just rubbed me the wrong way how the song would begin and end, then start back up again to add some climactic and dramatic backdrop to various sequences of rather uneventful and non-climactic scenes.

Compared to other movies based on the works of Stephen King, I'd say the Mist sits somewhere in the middle of the heap (in my opinion). Not nearly bad as Christine or the deplorable Maximum Overdrive - but not as good as Stand By Me or anywhere near as stellar as Shawshank Redemption.

:lol: @ Bosco's Multipass!

HOLY SHIT IGGIES!

What a trailer. I'm actually a closet Terminator fanboy. I watched the original... too many times. The second, just as many times. The third... I simply watched and enjoyed, disappointed at the experience, but behind it all that boy inside of me cheered his ass off.

I love how they moved from the static sound into the Terminator score. ::shivers:: Nice.

I was just about to ask you to be my friend, but then you went and mentioned Terminator 3 *sigh* so close MadPooter, so close.

Hey, hey--didn't I mention that I was disappointed??? >:-|

The little boy inside me was red with rage, and ready to rip off the fat bastards head who sat beside me in the cinema, laughing at the spoof that is T3.

Fine. You know what--the little boys inside the both of us will duel, and I will emerge VICTORIOUS!

I'm sure i read somewhere that the new terminator film is going to be linked with the sarah connor chronicles tv program. Terminator 1 & 2 are classics but the 3rd was rubbish

Are you trying to ruin my day Jay-C?

Apparently, this is a big deal http://www.firstshow...lutely-stunning

Saw the Dark Knight. Brilliant film - the best Batman I've seen in a long time - almost everything is perfect. Ledger's really brilliant. Hope to catch it again over the weekend - fun!

We're itching to see Dark Knight, and Connor's even excited about it too! So we all want to go together and try to see it on the Imax which would be sweet. If not the Imax, then there's a wicked theater close by us that has the largest non-imax screen on the west coast. We'll try to go on Sunday if stash is feeling up to it.

I know this sound awful, but I could not sit through Batman Begins. Now, I'm known to fall asleep during a movie but I have a considerable amount of patience for film, and will often give films I feel are worth it, a second viewing. But so help me I tried watching Batman Begins on 3 occasions and I fell asleep each time. stash never falls asleep during a movie and he was out cold with me on the couch as well. It wasn't that it was particularly bad, Christian Bale was excellent. It was nicely directed, nice to look at. I can't quite put my finger on what it was that induced such severe narcolepsy. Maybe it was the lack of a strong and visually captivating villian. Batman has always had the perfect comic book yin-yangness in that the hero and villian are just as strong as one another and equally shoulder the balance of good v. evil. Yeah... I just answered my own question there.

Speaking of Christian Bale - if you're a fan of his film then you must see The Machinist. It was excellent, but at the same time it was honestly a very hard film to watch. Not because of the acting, and I won't give anything away but if yuo see it for yourself then you'll know what I mean. It's amazing what that man puts himself through physically and emotionally to get into a role.

this film has exactly that. an amazingly strong villain balancing a very good batman. infact heath ledger steals most of the scenes - he's that fucking good.

i dont want to give away any spoilers, but this film is very very powerful, very comic book, and has all the ingredients a powerful and good film should have. all the characters have been etched equally well and very deep for a 2 hour film format.

I've seen Christian Bale in American Psycho a long time back and loved him, and recently liked him in the Prestige - will check out Machinist.

Everyone go watch the new Batman - it'll leave u stumped. Christopher Nolan has etched a modern masterpiece for comic book fans.

MAKE SURE YOU USE SPOILER ALERTS IN THIS THREAD! DON'T FORGET US IN THE UK DON'T GET FILMS TILL AFTER YOU LOT!

Just watched Stanley Kubricks Lolita. That dirty bastard
